The State Attorney General's office announced on Thursday that a Shenandoah man has pled guilty to a felony charge related to the robbery of a bank in Frackville.
According to Skook News, 39 year old Larry Dettery entered The Miner’s Bank on May 26, 2017, and placed a package on the counter of a bank teller, with a note stating that the package was a bomb.
Dettery then fled the bank with cash, discarding his glasses and hooded sweatshirt — which contained his cell phone — in woods near the bank. The cell phone’s lock screen displayed a picture of Dettery, and the sweatshirt fit the description of the man who had just left a package at the bank.
He was sentenced by Schuylkill County Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin to six to 15 years in prison.
